Contador achieves comeback win

Madrid

Spain's Alberto Contador, racing his first cycling Grand Tour since returning from a two-year doping ban last month, won his second Tour of Spain yesterday.

The Saxo-Bank rider, also a two-time Tour de France winner who lost his 2010 Tour and 2011 Giro titles after testing positive for clenbuterol in 2010, safely negotiated the 21st and final 115-kilometre largely flat stage from Cercedilla to Madrid to claim victory.
